Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted, its lava flow spilling from its cauldron! The quiescent Goddess awakes! What once was a placid pool of cooling lava, has morphed into a fissure of magma. And it’s ejecting molten plumes of rock high into the sky, hot sparks lighting up the night. When Gaia bleeds into the sea will their union give birth to land? Time contradicts permanency.

So wonderfully creative this metaphoric write, Emile. I love the foundation that underlies your theme and ideas. I especially love that the energy of the poem takes off from the disturbed quiescence of the Goddess. This is marvelously crafted my friend with many intricate layers. Blessings! A fav for me.

Thanks, Jan, yes, unfortunately, like beauty and the beast, devastation often accompanies a spectacular volcanic eruption, I appreciate your comments my friend, Emile.

These volcanoes erupting is not a good thing for those who live in that area. I feel for all those people who are losing everything. Enjoyed reading your work. Sara
